Back on track

Help for customers who are struggling to pay their water bill

If you’re experiencing financial difficulties and worried about paying your water bill, we may be able to offer you some extra help with our Back on Track scheme.

The scheme is suitable for customers either receiving benefits, or on a low income and finding it difficult to pay their bill following a recent change in financial circumstances (such as redundancy or a reduction in current income).

Depending on your individual circumstances your water bill will be capped at a lower amount for the year. To be eligible for the scheme you will need to provide details about your household income for us to assess how much you can afford to pay.

Frozen Pipes

Due to the recent freezing weather conditions, some of our customers have called to say their water has gone off or it’s coming out the tap in a trickle. This could be due to frozen pipes in your home. If you think your pipes may be frozen but they have not split or burst, there are some simple steps you can take to help slowly thaw them by using a hot water bottle or hairdryer, starting from the end nearest your tap.

Remember to avoid using a naked flame as this may not be safe. For lots of advice on how to deal with frozen pipes, please take a look at our winterwise page.
